The four-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) witnessed the most awaited reunion as MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja were seen smiling and chatting during a practice session at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Jadeja, who was part of the Indian team which played the third ODI against Australia in Chennai, stayed back, and joined the CSK camp.
Many would remember that in IPL 2022, CSK stunned their fans by appointing Jadeja as the new captain. Mid-way through the tournament, Jadeja relinquished the captaincy and returned the reign to Dhoni, which he accepted. CSK finished ninth in the 10-team tournament.
Jadeja revealed that his cricketing journey has revolved around two "Mahendras", one his coach and the other his captain Dhoni at Chennai Super Kings.
"I told this to Mahi bhai, that my cricketing journey has been between Mahendra Singh Chauhan, my coach in Jamnagar and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, my captain at CSK. My cricketing journey has really been between these two Mahendra’s," said Jadeja on Star Sports.
